Description :

The Life of Jesus Christ for the Young – Rev. Richard Newton – First Edition (1800s Antique)

A rare first edition volume of The Life of Jesus Christ for the Young by Rev. Richard Newton, one of the most influential American preachers and religious authors of the 19th century.

  • Author: Rev. Richard Newton

  • Title: The Life of Jesus Christ for the Young

  • Edition: First Edition

  • Era: Mid-to-late 1800s

  • Binding: Original embossed leather with gilt lettering and ornamentation on the spine

  • Pages: Thick, gilt-edged leaves with period red tinting on the page edges

  • Measurements: Approx. 8.5” H x 6” W x 2.5” D

 Why It’s Special:
Richard Newton (1813–1887) was known as the “Prince of Preachers to the Young.” His books were widely distributed across America and England, but early first editions in original binding are scarce. This volume is not only a piece of Christian devotional history but also a beautiful example of 19th-century bookbinding craftsmanship.

📖 Condition: Good antique condition with expected shelf wear to spine and cover, some foxing and edge wear consistent with age. Binding remains intact.
